Christ's Present Abode "Whom the Heaven must receive" (Act_3:21) 1. The rejection of Jesus Christ was complete.

A Call to National Repentance "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Act_3:19) There is a marked distinction between this call to repent and the one found in Act_2:38, where Peter said, "Repent and be baptized every one of you." That call was personal, this is national: that was … Continue reading “0997. A Call to National Repentance”

National Forgiveness Foretold "That your sins may be blotted out" (Act_3:19) We must not think of such a promise being made by Peter alone.

National Forgiveness Foretold”

The Deliverance of Lot "The same day that Lot went out of Sodom" (Luk_17:29) The warnings that came to Lot and the urgency of the Heavenly visitors, with the leaving behind of the two daughters and the turning back of Lot's wife, all seem to have a wonderful parellelism–a message of tremendous importance to those … Continue reading “0995. The Deliverance of Lot”

Living in False Security–knew Not Until "And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of Man be" (Mat_24:39) One of the characteristics of the days of Noah was ignorance. Not ignorance of many things. Concerning mundane things, they were wise far beyond what … Continue reading “0992. Living in False Security–knew Not Until”

Overwhelmed with Water–with Fire "And the flood came, and destroyed them all. "It rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all" (Luk_17:27, Luk_17:29).

Overwhelmed with Water–with Fire”
